Yea, me too!
However, I'd be more inclined to classify those as "catch lights", just like the sparkles of flash/light in people's eyes. Specular Highlights, imho, require larger blown areas (as in your Toyota badge case) or a direct light souces (Swartzy's bridges).

Come on, Cat, I know, you can do it:-)

Ah ok, I was a little vague on the definition to begin with, so thanks for the clarification If time allows tomorrow I'll try and get more that fit with the definition, as with my original first shot

I really hope these count
I created these by doing the following:
Put CD's under my lamp in the living room, and then held an empty smirnoff bottle up next to my lens. I think it came out really neat Taken tonight.
No flash so it's all the trick of the lighting of the lamp...

Cool shots
No specular highlights again :cry
I mean, there are some tiny specs of them, but the idea of the class is to get them really pronounced.

The primary idea behind specular highlight is that you can tweak the rest of the image into the dark oblivion of #000000, yet they still will be shining at full #FFFFFF.
